THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union , 
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition1, and in particular 
Article 9(2) thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) The use of expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded 
orange oils from Citrus sinensis  (L.) Osbeck as feed additives was authorised for all 
animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/14212 for a 10 -
year period. The use of bitter orange extract as a feed additive was authorised for 
certain animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/6523 for a 
10-year period. The use of expressed lemon essential oil, residual fraction of expressed 
lemon oil distilled, distilled lemon essential oil (volatile fraction) and distilled lime 
essential oil as feed additives was  authorised for certain animal species by 
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/14904 for a 10 -year period. The use 
of expressed mandarin essential oil as a feed additive was authorised for poultry, pigs,

2 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/ 1421 of 22 August 2022  concerning the authorisation 
of expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus 
sinensis (L.) Osbeck as feed additives for all animal species (OJ L 218, 23.8.2022, p. 27 ).  
3 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/ 652 of 20 April 2022  concerning the authorisation of 
bitter orange extract as a feed additive for certain animal species  (OJ L 119, 21.4.2022, p. 74 ).  
4 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 of 1 Ma rch 2022 concerning the authorisation 
of expressed lemon essential oil, residual fraction of expressed lemon oil distilled, distilled lemon 
essential oil (volatile fraction) and distilled lime essential oil as feed additives for certain animal species  
(OJ L 234, 9.9.2022, p. 1).  
EN 2  EN ruminants, horses, rabbits and salmonids by Commission Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2022/3205 for a 10 -year period.  
(2) In Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1421, transitional measures 
concerning feed materials and compound feed containing the additives concerned and 
which are intended for non-food producing animals were erroneously omitted. 
Furthermore, in its opinion of 29 September 20216, the European Food Safety 
Authority (‘the Authority’) could not conclude on the safety of expressed orange 
essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis  
(L.) Osbeck as feed additives for dogs, cats, ornamental fish and ornamental birds, 
because they are not normally exposed to citrus by -products. The Authority also 
clarified that folded orange oil identified as 2b143 -f-ii in the Annex to Implementing 
Regu lation (EU) 2022/1421 is not intended for use in horses, rabbits, dogs, cats, 
ornamental fish and ornamental birds. Those species should therefore not have been 
included in the column ‘species or category of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing 
Regulation (EU) 2022/1421 in relation to the additives concerned. Finally, the title of 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1421 should be adjusted to reflect the fact that 
the authorisation of the additives concerned relates to certain animal species only.  
(3) In its opin ion of 23 June 20217, the Authority could not conclude on the safety of 
bitter orange extract as a feed additive for dogs, cats and ornamental fish, because they 
are not normally exposed to citrus by -products. In addition, an entry covering other 
animal sp ecies  than those mentioned in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 
2022/652  was erroneously omitted . Therefore, the column ‘species or category of 
animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652 should refer to all 
animal species except dogs, cats, ornamental fish as well as  ornamental birds , which 
are also not normally exposed to citrus by -products according to the conclusions of the 
Authority in its opinion of 29 September 2021 . 
(4) In its opinion of 18 March 20218, the Authority could not conclude on the safety of 
expressed lemon oil and its residual fraction and of lime oil as feed additives for 
companion animals and ornamental fish, because they are not normally exposed to 
citrus by -products. Ornamental fish should therefore not have been  included in the 
column ‘species or category of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2022/1490 for the additive identified as 2b141 -eo. In addition, an entry covering 
other animal species except dogs, cats, ornamental fish, as well as ornam ental birds, 
which are also not normally exposed to citrus by -products according to the 
conclusions of the Authority in its opinion of 29 September 2021, was erroneously 
omitted and  should therefore be included in the column ‘species or category of animal’  
of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 for the additives identified 
as 2b139 -eo, 2b139 -rf and 2b141 -eo. Finally, an entry covering ‘other animal species’ 
was erroneously omitted and should therefore be included in the column ‘species or 
category of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 for the 
additive identified as 2b139 -di. 
(5) In Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/320, transitional measures 
concerning feed materials and compound feed containing the additi ve concerned and

authorisation of expressed mandarin essential oil as a feed additive for poultry, pigs, ruminants, horses, 
rabbits and salmonids (OJ L 55, 28.2.2 022, p. 41 ).

Furthermore,  an entry covering ‘other animal species ’ was erroneously omitted in the 
column ‘species or category of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation  
(EU) 2022/320 . In its opinion of 5 May 20219, the Authority could not conclude on the 
safety of expressed mandarin essential oil as a feed additive for dogs, cats and 
ornamental fish, because they are not normally exposed to citrus by -products . In its 
opinion of 29 September 2021, the Authority concluded that ornamental birds are also 
not normally exposed to citrus by -products.  Therefore, an entry covering other animal 
species except dogs, cats, ornamental fish  and ornamental birds  should be included in 
the column ‘species or category of animal’ of the Annex to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2022/320 .. Finally, the title of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/320 should 
be adjusted accordingly to reflect the fact that the authorisation of expressed mandarin 
essential oil relates to a broader list of animal species.  
(6) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1421, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652, 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 
2022/320 should therefore be corrected accordingly.  
(7) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the corrected terms of 
the authorisation of the feed additives concerned, it is appropriate to provide for a 
transitional period for the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the 
requirements resulting from those corrections. In the interest of legibility and clarity of 
the applicable transitional measures, and as the corrections relate to all the additives 
covered by the authorisation acts concerned, such transitional period should be 
provided through an extension of the respective periods laid down in Implementing 
Regulation (EU) 2022/1421, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/652, Implementing 
Regulation (EU) 2022/1490 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/320. Those 
Implementing Regulations should therefore be amended accordingly.

Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
